The Seven Sins of England

About This Movie

The Seven Sins of England is this fascinating documentary that really digs into England's deep-rooted culture of hooliganism and excess. Joseph Bullman, the filmmaker, takes a rather unflinching look at how the past has shaped current attitudes toward violence and binge-drinking. The pacing is quite deliberate—it feels like a slow peel back of layers, showing us everything from Edwardian yobs to Elizabethan xenophobia. It’s raw, honest, and sometimes a bit shocking, but that’s what makes it intriguing. The archival footage and interviews create this really authentic atmosphere, almost as if you’re peering into a time capsule of English mischief. Definitely a distinctive take on history, not your run-of-the-mill doc.
